Insertion of text in code type field in small case

chrispaul

Dear All

Is there any possibility that we can insert some text in code type field in small case as code type field inherits some property which automatically converts a text in Uppercase.

Thanks in advance

MyCode := UPPERCASE('abcde');

Hi Chrispaul,

Unfortunately not, a code field by definition is uppercase. You will need a text field to store the lower case.

Actually rereading th eoriginal post (which wold be easier if there was some punctutation :whistle: ) I think DaveT's reply is more acurate.

why are you trying to insert lower case in a code field? Code fields HAVE to be uppercase - so you may want to dig a little deeper into the client requirement and see if this really is "must have functionality".

You can insert lower case letters in a code field by declaring a TextConst that has lower case characters and assigning that to a code field. This will cause problems in your DB so please do not use this in a production environment.
This was/is a well known bug in some of the codeunits that initialize the different journals in NAV.

So, it can be done, but I wouldn´t recommend it.
